Perhaps, Matt. But, actually, we get the term "narcissistic" from
the ancient Greek mythology of the man who saw his reflection in the
lake and became obsessed with it. And then alas, he drowned from his
ardent fascination with his face. I believe there was a flower by
the lake that was further called "narcissia" or "narcissa"?
